When I first found out I was pregnant I did not want to go to my OB/GYN because of past experiences. A friend of mine from church, Carrie Lyons, told us about the nurse midwives at Jeannette and suggested we give them a call. I called them and made an appointment. When we went for our first visit we were treated so well. We met first with Sandy Mauro CNM and Sue Klosky, the office manager. They were so nice. They gave us allot of information that was very helpful. Sandy prayed with us on our first visit, which we really appreciated, since we are a Christian family. Each visit after that we met mostly with Gretchen Cohen CNM. She was really nice also. When I found out that I had gestational diabetes, I was real worried and scared about what was going to happen. Gretchen reassured me everything would be all right.

On the day I went into labor (October 08), Nancy Ritenour CNM was the one who delivered our baby. I had a fast and easy delivery. We arrived at the hospital at 8AM and our baby was born at 9AM. Nancy was just wonderful. She was very calm the whole time. Even the nurses at Jeannette Hospital were real nice.

We just had a wonderful experience with the nurse midwives. Sandy, Gretchen, Nancy and Sue always made you feel like they were your friend and you were not just another patient. Each visit was special!

I recommend them to any woman having a baby. If I ever have another baby, I would definitely to to them again. They made my birthing experience really special. Thank You
